Find Joy this Season at a National Wildlife Refuge

Catch your breath from the ho-ho-ho and celebrate the season’s natural beauty at a national wildlife refuge. Whether you’re harvesting your own Christmas tree, visiting a refuge Open House, or exploring the winter landscape, you’ll enter a world of natural wonder. The National Wildlife Refuge System, managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is the nation’s premier system of public lands and waters set aside to conserve America’s fish, wildlife and plants. See a complete calendar of refuge special events.

The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. We are both a leader and trusted partner in fish and wildlife conservation, known for our scientific excellence, stewardship of lands and natural resources, dedicated professionals, and commitment to public service.
